I haven't enjoyed a pairs event as much as this one in a long time. I honestly don't care who wins between the top two. I'm smiling too much to care. Nice to see clean programs back to back. Too bad the men and ladies couldn't produce the same quality. I hope both teams can sustain themselves through Sochi.

I haven't seen the short program of S/S, so I can only judge it by the long program and there I would have seen them a bit better, so I am satisfied. I am anyway since of course I am cheering for them.

I really hope V/T can come back and win Euros and Worlds. They have the "it" factor and look so much more polished and prettier than S/S.

Surely they're pretty and have this certain something, but all in all it is a rather big man with a rather small woman, like K/S or the Zhangs are too. I like the harmonic picture S/S represent and I admire Szolkowy for what he does despite of not having this advantage.
